Petit Verdot, one of the lesser-known Bordeaux grapes, stars in this fine Chilean red. Full of blackberry, dark chocolate, floral and toast notes, It is deeply flavourful and satisfying. Enjoy it tonight. Terrific quality for the money! Dark, savoury notes of blackberry, cassis and mocha. Full-bodied and dark.

Petit Verdot food pairings: lamb burgers, braised beef with root veggies.

One of the lesser-seen Bordeaux grapes, Petit Verdot struts its stuff in this fine Chilean red. Aromas of black fruits, herbs and spice with touches of violet on the nose. The palate is dry, and loaded with lush black fruit, floral and chocolate notes. A flavourful and delicious wine. Enjoy it tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
